Filter by:Obesity is a leading risk factor for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Generic weight management programs that target dietary intake and physical activity have been shown to be ineffective in maintaining weight loss beyond a 6-month period. Personalizing weight management programs produces more weight loss than generic programs, possibly through improved self-efficacy (confidence in one's ability to control weight through behavior). One way to personalize diet goals for individuals is by resting metabolic rate (RMR; 'metabolism'). This study will explore adherence and satisfaction of 6-weeks repeated at-home measures of metabolism using a portable device in healthy adults with and without obesity. Relationships among adherence and satisfaction outcomes to health behavior variables will be explored using dietary recalls, exercise monitors and questionnaires. Investigators will conduct a 6-week, one-arm feasibility study in order to address these questions. Twenty men and women ages 19-65 will be recruited (up to n=25 participants), among which 10 participants will have a body mass index (BMI) of ≥30kg/m2 (classified as having obesity), and the remaining 10 participants will have a body mass index (BMI) of < 29.9kg/m2 (classified as not having obesity). The baseline study visit will evaluate participant's anthropometric measures, RMR using the ParvoMedics TrueOne 2400 and Breezing indirect calorimeters, psychological and behavioural related parameters. An activPAL device will be provided to measure participant physical activity. Completion of a 3-day diet record following the baseline study visit, in which participants keep a record of all food and beverages consumed over 2 weekdays and 1 weekend, is required. Participants will be asked to use the Breezing device from home to measure their RMR one time/week on the same day of the week (± one day) and at the same time each morning for six consecutive weeks following the baseline visit. A weekly Qualtrics survey will be sent to participants to monitor adherence. A follow-up visit after the six weeks will assess participant's body composition using a Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA), in addition to completion of a user satisfaction interview with a study team member for descriptive analysis. The measures taken at the baseline study visit will be repeated at the follow-up visit.
The objective of the HELPLINE Weight Loss Program is to determine the comparative effectiveness of two active multi-component, augmented interventions for cancer survivors with overweight or obesity who do not achieve early weight loss goal in the initial intervention period (termed, early non-responders). The core study design is randomized controlled trial with adaptive intervention. 1. CORE Helpline in all participants (first 2 months) 2. Extended Helpline in early responders (additional 6 months) 3. Enhanced Helpline in early non-responders (additional 6 months) 4. Intensive Helpline in early non-responders (additional 6 months)
This randomized, controlled, single-blinded study will investigate how the protein source in a high-protein ketogenic diet affects metabolic weight loss outcomes after a 12-week dietary intervention
Obesity, a chronic disease characterized by excessive fat accumulation, significantly impacts health. Genetic factors influence the development of obesity by affecting behavioral, dietary habits, and metabolic processes. This study investigated whether dietary supplements (DS), personalized through genetic and metabolic profiling, could enhance weight loss when combined with physical activity and dietary changes. The objective was to compare the efficacy of standard physician-guided DS prescriptions with AI-guided DS prescriptions in promoting weight loss in obese patients. The hypothesis was that AI-guided DS prescriptions, utilizing detailed genetic and metabolic data, would be more effective in promoting weight loss than standard physician-guided DS prescriptions. This was a 6-month randomized, controlled pilot clinical trial with an additional 6-month follow-up. Participants were healthy individuals aged 40-60 years with a BMI of 25 or greater. Participants were excluded if they had significant medical conditions or recent changes in medication or supplements. They were randomly assigned to either the control group (physician-guided DS prescriptions) or the AI-guided group (AI-determined DS prescriptions). The AI system developed by Triangel Scientific analyzed genetic, metabolic, and biochemical data to personalize treatment. Baseline measurements included comprehensive metabolic panels, genetic testing, metabolomic profiling, and detailed patient history
The objective of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of weight reduction through a diet management application and an intelligent weight scale on a composite cardiovascular endpoint in obese patients with heart failure. The main questions are: Does the use of a diet management APP and intelligent weight scale reduce 1-year all-cause mortality, heart failure hospitalization, and first heart failure hospital stay? Does the use of a diet management APP and intelligent weight scale improve the outcomes of assessment of heart failure frailty and quality of life for heart failure? Researchers will compare using the fully functional diet management app and intelligent weight scale to using the limitedly functional app and intelligent weight scale to see if the app works to improve heart failure conditions. Participants will: Use the diet management app at every meal and the intelligent weight scale every day for 12 months, and visit the clinic at 12 months for checkups.
This project will be a three-group controlled 6-wk feeding study where all meals are prepared and provided to obese participants. All participants will be fed a 25% energy-restricted diet. Two diets will be very low in carbohydrate (i.e., ketogenic diets) designed to induce nutritional ketosis and fat loss. Another diet will be low in fat and saturated fat but contain the same total calories. Participants will be randomly assigned to a Ketone Supplement group who are provided an exogenous pre-formed source of beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) or a Control group that only receives the standard ketogenic diet. Randomization will be stratified based on insulin resistance, sex, and body composition to ensure balanced group assignment. Because of timing of recruitment (i.e., after most of the ketogenic groups have already completed the study), the low-fat group will not be randomized. Outcome measurements will be made at various intervals over the 6-wk intervention.
The present randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the relationship between gene expression profiling and the response to a precision diet compared to a personalized Mediterranean-style diet (control diet) in metabolically healthy individuals with overweight and obesity. Compared to the control diet, the precision diet is expected to increase adherence to dietary recommendations (resulting in weight loss and maintenance). In addition, we postulate that the precision diet will lead to greater lifestyle changes, improving long-term well-being and health in people with overweight and obesity.
The purpose of this study is to construct a multi-site, prospective registry to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients who have undergone gastric fundus mucosal ablation at True You Weight Loss.
The study addresses the pressing issue of overweight and obesity among breast cancer patients, which exacerbates recurrence rates and mortality risks. Its primary objective is to assess the efficacy of two intervention models, the Diet, Exercise, and Mindfulness (DEM) model and the Diet and Exercise (DE) model, in facilitating weight loss, enhancing self-efficacy, mindfulness, and quality of life. The anticipated outcomes include long-term engagement in online self-learning, overcoming the limitations of ineffective self-management learning, and empowering healthcare professionals with scenario-based teaching materials. Through online platforms, patients can learn and review without constraints, ultimately achieving a holistic balance among physical, mental, and spiritual health.
This observational study is designed to assess the effects of Envlo Tablet or Envlomet SR Tablet on weight loss and safety in patients with Type 2 diabetes, conducted in real primary care settings over a period of 24 weeks.
